In the last few years, After a 30-year career as a nature and landscape photographer, I attached my two passions, photography, and gardening. Sometimes I start my day with a camera and other times with secateurs. More than ever I am dependent on the weather, earth, and soil. Taking time, and seeing the beauty is a daily practice.I use SONY a6500, 17-70 mm Sony lens, 75-300mm Sony lens, and 90 mm macro.I photograph with available sunlight only.
